Shuangchaling, Liujiazhuang.

In the woodshed in the backyard, Hou San bit a twig in his mouth and said inarticulately: "Wang Er, how did you do it? There are fewer and fewer prey recently. If this continues, the farm's grain reserves will soon be eaten up."

Gone."

Wang Er, a strong and fierce man, was the best hunter in Liujiazhuang besides Liu Boqin. After Liu Boqin left, he was responsible for the daily hunting expenses. At this time, he came with five or six people dragging half a porcupine.

In the backyard, there are quite a lot of half porcupines, but given the huge Liujiazhuang, there aren't many left.

Wang Er also frowned after hearing Hou San's words. He sighed and said, "Oh, don't mention it. I'm lucky to be able to hunt this pig today. I'm afraid it will be worse in the future!"

"What?" Hou Er, who was cleaning up the woodshed and preparing to kill the porcupine and store it, heard this. His voice suddenly rose eight times, and the branch he was holding in his mouth fell down. "If it's less than this, then we

What are we going to eat? Before I left, the uncle told me to make the best bone soup for the old lady every day. So many people in this village are pointing at you."

"I know!" Wang Er said impatiently: "But since the uncle left Shuangcha Ridge, so many dragons, insects, tigers and leopards have jumped out, and brothers have been injured while hunting for several days in a row. It doesn't matter, I hunt all day long.

There is always a time when we are pecked by birds. But now there is a group of monsters on Shuangcha Ridge. I don’t know how many of the hunters who hunted by themselves at the foot of the mountain have fallen into the stomachs of monsters. We are the only ones. If we are met by monsters,

, that is also a life of being eaten. Then, no one will hunt for you. So now we dare to try our luck in the periphery. What prey we can catch depends on the mercy of God."

Hou San also fell silent for a moment. There was nothing he could do about the situation Wang Er mentioned. He could only say dullly: "Oh, it would be great if the uncle was here."

"Yes, the uncle is the Taibao of Zhenshan. Who dares to stroke his beard on Shuangcha Ridge? Counting the time, it has been more than half a year. It's time for the uncle to come back." Wang Er also said with deep approval, he is

The person who has been with Liu Boqin for the longest time, no matter how powerful the prey is, can't even survive a single move in Liu Boqin's hands, "If the uncle is still there, how dare the Laoshizi monster dare to come to our Shuangcha Ridge."

"Okay, you should go and have a rest early. Leave this to me. At worst, we can save some food rations in the future. Anyway, we can't lose the old lady..."

Suddenly, a shout came from outside. "The owner of the village is back! The owner of the village is back!"

"The village owner is back?" Wang Er and Hou San looked at each other in surprise. They left the porcupine and walked out.

When they arrived at the door, Liu Boqin had already walked into the village, followed by a tiger, but this tiger was docile and pitiful, more like a tabby cat raised in the village.

"The owner of the village!" "The owner of the village!"

Wang Er and others looked at Liu Boqin, who was dressed in a white robe and dressed as a scholar, and shouted in unison, with uncontrollable joy in their tone.

"Hahaha, kids, I'm back!" Liu Boqin strode towards the hall and pointed at the corner of the wall. The tiger behind him walked over obediently and lay motionless on the ground.

Boqin took off his robe and put on a tiger skin hanging in the center of the hall. He was in high spirits. When he returned to Shuangcha Ridge, firstly, he felt relaxed as if he were home, and secondly, he was in the mountains and wilderness, without those restrictions.

Liu Boqin felt much more relaxed.

"Son, you are finally back. Mom misses you so much."

Someone had already informed Mrs. Liu. She walked out shakily with the support of several maids. When she saw Liu Boqin, she couldn't help shouting.

Bo Qin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mom, my child is not so worried."

After not seeing each other for half a year, his mother had aged beyond Birchin's expectation. He remembered that when he left, his mother still had black hair, but now her temples were gray and her waist was bent a lot.

Liu Boqin helped his mother sit on the table, first knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to greet her, and then took out the elixir from his arms.

After uncorking the small medicine bottle outlined with blue lines, a faint fragrance penetrated into the nostrils. After taking a sip, Mrs. Liu felt refreshed and asked:

"My son, what is that in your hand? Why does it smell so good!"

"Mom, this is the best elixir. Taking it can prolong your life and make you young again!"

When the old lady heard this, she quickly waved her hand to ask Liu Boqin to cork the bottle, "Ah, you don't dare to smell such a good treasure? You have to put it away."

"Mom, this is my child's special tribute to you. You, take one pill every day so that you can stay with your child longer!"

Liu Boqin winked, and the maid came over with tea. He joked with his mother and persuaded the old lady to take one. The Gululu pill rolled down her stomach, and the old lady felt a wave of heat rising from her abdomen, followed by sleepiness.

It's coming over my heart. This is the effect of the medicine. The old man is weak and needs to sleep first.

Liu Boqin asked the serving maid to help his wife go back to her room to rest, and watched his mother's figure gradually disappear in the corridor. Liu Boqin sat down again, and said calmly to Wang Er and Hou San who were standing respectfully in front of him:

"Tell me, what happened recently?"

Wang Er and Hou San looked at each other and told Bo Qin the big and small things that happened on Shuangcha Ridge.

"Are there some monsters coming up to Shuangcha Ridge?" Liu Boqin sat on the tiger leather chair and touched his chin.

"Yes, uncle, not long after you left, those monsters came."

"How many... monsters?"

"I also heard from other hunters that the leaders seem to be three monsters. But they don't live together, they each have their own lair."

"Three monsters," Boqin thought while tapping the table with one hand.

These three monsters are probably General Yin, Special Agent, and Xiong Shanjun who he fought with in Gongzhou. These three people will also be the first difficulties Tang Monk will encounter when he leaves Gongzhou. Tang Monk is not alone just after leaving Chang'an.

He had a man and a horse, and Taizong also assigned him two attendants. Tang Monk was saved by Taibai Xingjun from the three demons, but the two were not so lucky, and got into the belly of the three demons and became their dinner.

Now think about it carefully, the only purpose of these three monsters in Journey to the West is to eat Tang Monk's attendants so that Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha can make their debut smoothly. Did these three monsters voluntarily settle in Shuangcha Ridge, or did they?

Being forced by someone is worthy of scrutiny.

However, a cold light burst out from the corner of Liu Boqin's eyes. He had not forgotten the scene when the three demons forced him to flee. No matter what, it was always appropriate to collect some interest.

Wang Er and Hou San stood in front of Liu Boqin, not daring to take a breath. Frequent hunting in the mountains made their intuition much more sensitive than ordinary people. They only felt that after the uncle came back from outside, although he appeared to be

His appearance didn't change much, but his whole person became more unfathomable. Sitting in front of him was like looking up at a mountain, not knowing the depth.

As soon as Liu Boqin stopped tapping his fingers on the table, the air seemed to be stagnant, and then he heard Liu Boqin's long voice:

"Okay, I understand. During these days when I am away, the villa is also thanks to the two of you for taking care of it."

"Sir, where are you? The two younger ones have grown up in Zhuangzi since they were young. This is our home. There is no need to talk about hard work."

"Yes," Liu Boqin nodded, "but I have always rewarded my merits and punished me for my mistakes. I will reward you two with these two bottles of elixirs, and you can also arrange something else."

Wang Er and Hou San looked at the white vial in Liu Boqin's hand and were overjoyed. When Boqin gave it to the old lady, they were greedy, but it was the miraculous medicine that the uncle brought to the lady. How could they dare to speak. Now Liu Boqin is on the throne.

Each of them had a bottle. They immediately bowed their heads and worshiped.

"Uncle, you really have nothing to say to the young ones. The young ones are willing to go through fire and water for you, no matter what."

"Okay, now that I'm back, you don't have to worry about this matter on Shuangcha Ridge anymore. I can handle it myself. Wait for the two of you to go to Gongzhou tomorrow and help me handle this matter. It's done.

, and there is a big reward! Go ahead." Liu Boqin waved his hand and let the two of them go down.

"As ordered, please don't worry, we will definitely handle this matter! I'll take my leave first." Wang Er and Hou San held the white vials and walked out with smiles on their faces. They didn't forget to close the hall door before leaving.

Close diligently.

After Liu Boqin watched the two people go out with happy faces, he sighed softly. Although these two people had grown up with him and were very loyal in their work, after all, they were just a group of mortals who could only do small things for themselves. There were many things.

You have to do it yourself, which is really inconvenient.

"Tang Monk will be enlightened by Guanyin in 7749 days after he holds the Water and Land Conference, and will marry Taizong as Golden Orchid. He will also be given the elegance of Sanzang. He will leave Nagato on the same day, pass by Famen Temple in a day or two, and be a monk in a few days.

We will arrive in Gongzhou and stay at Fuyuan Temple. After coming out, we will go to Shuangcha Ridge. If we want to find trouble with the three demons, we have to get close, otherwise we will wait until Monk Tang comes. How many gods will protect him when he is studying for scriptures?

It’s so obvious.”

Liu Boqin touched his nose and suddenly laughed again, "I don't know what Xuanzang's expression will be when he meets me, donor Liu. He probably thinks that I have died in Hongjiang."
